Despite the challenges, we were seeing free and democratic Iraq, we were
living the hard laboring moment we believe that every one of us has
duty towards our beloved country. By our hands, work, thoughts, sacrifice
we will build up the new Iraq.

For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complex than ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendour and travail of the earth.

REMEMBER THIS WOMAN ? AND ALL THE HEART WARMING STORIES ABOUT HER RETURNING TO HER CAREER AS A BROADCASTER AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF TALIBAN RULE WHERE SHE WAS CONFINED TO HER HOME? I remember her story - I remember her bravery going to report the news when most Afgans were still scared the Taliban would return. This is the type of political refugee that should be welcomed to the US and given immediate citizenship but instead Homeland security is busy legalizing illegalMexican immigrants and Obama relatives already working or living here in the US. Women fleeing Muslim patriarchy are denied political asylum. Hillary says nothing while BO says we are not in Afghanistan to do anything but protect US interests when he is asked about the new Afgan laws legalizing rape signed by KKKarzai. The media does not report BO's statement or explain its' implications. Hillary says nothing.

-- "The first Afghan woman to appear on television afterthe fall of the Taliban has fled the country, saying it is toodangerous, as her husband was shot dead outside their house"-- "They told him, 'You pimp, letting your wife on TV. If you're areal man you'll beat her and kick her and take her back to Khost'."

Well, apparently these are the "moderate" Taliban our President speaks of. We know they are moderate because they only beat her brutally instead of killing her, eh? Our President was asked today about the new law that makes it ok for husbands to rape their wives. His answer pretty much told me that his fingers are in his ears and he is humming loudly about the treatment of women in the Middle East. We are losing a battle that I fear our younger sisters aren't noticing around them.

Overall I would say that women mean as much to him as Israel does.

P.S. Your cats would be welcome in my yard any time. There has to be a special place in hell for someone who what do what was done to your cats.

THANK YOU! I saw that question and answer and everything I feared became a reality. My only hope is that other women saw and had the same realization. And now HILLARY is the question isn't she -- how far will she go with this turd in furthering the oppression of women?

Also thank you about my cats -- like all abusers he did it because it gave him pleasure in the act and because it put me in my place. Only he had cop friends and the boys of the legal system were happy to help. I often ask why and can only say well I am wiser now. But what good is wisdom without power?

I got doubly worried about Hillary when I saw how she cowtowed to their dress code during her meetings there. I longed for a woman President who would tell them to crap in their hats and put it on their heads, and show up dressed like a free American woman.

I don't know what's going on, but I do hold out some hope for Hillary because I know her to be very smart and clever at the same time. I see her above the Obama fray and wonder what she's thinking. I just don't think that at this time in her life, after her Bejing speech and her other efforts to make her feelings known about Women's Rights, that she would give it all up for this job.

Don't tell me she covered her head -- link me to the picture. Condi Rice never covered her head. Hillary gutted the Office of International Women's Issues of all the republican feminist who had set up a network of women fighting Muslim oppression. She now has a spokesMAN who is a woman who called herself a spokesman. Hillary sold out women. That is her legacy. She will shut up and do as she is told while Obama legitimizes the oppression of women under the banner of cultural relativism.

Be at the radio show tonight with the link to Hillary wearing the head crap

No she did not cover her head. She was wearing some kind of odd wrap. She was sitting down and a few of us commented how odd her garb was. I only got to see the upper part of her body. But it was like nothing else I've ever seen her wear. I'm not sure I captured the picture. I am looking now. I take so many links in a day it's hard to remember where I saw everything.

You're probably right about Hillary anyhow. I am most likely having a flight into wishful thinking about her. We are so screwed. Many of my readers have given up on Hillary.

yeah thats OK if you can't find it - happens to me ALL THE TIME. I am just ....not accepting of free women doing that especially someone representing US. Condi Rice made a point of NOT doing it. -- Pelosi did it and she is damn lucky we cannot reach into the TV set and rip their heads off.
